Welcome to the Hirschey Lab
Decoding Cellular Metabolism
We investigate cellular nutrient sensing and metabolism using computational approaches to understand how metabolic pathways regulate health and disease.
Our Research Focus
We use cutting-edge approaches to understand metabolic regulation across multiple biological systems.
-
Metabolic Signaling
- Investigating how cells sense and respond to nutrients through metabolic signaling pathways.
-
Computational Biology
- Developing and applying computational approaches to understand complex metabolic networks and disease mechanisms.
-
Disease Metabolism
- Understanding metabolic dysfunction in cancer, diabetes, and aging to identify therapeutic targets.
